RE: [CRONOLOG]: Cronolog 1.6.2 for WIndows - Compile Success without Cygwin dependency

[jim.r.halfpenny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,
I imagine one the larger either contains debugging symbols or is statically
linked. A statically linked binary is a good idea if you want your build to
be portable across different windows boxes and avoid the problems of
missing libraries.

Cheers,
Jim

One curious thing.  The newly compiled 1.6.2 binary is 420K while the 1.6.1
binary is only 64K..?
